I Daniel Gale, aged fifty seven years, a citizen of the U. States born in Epping New Hampshire, but now resident in Palmyra Maine, upon oath testify and declare, that in May 1778 I enlisted as a private soldier for the term of nine months in the war of the revolution against the common enemy, upon the continental establishment in Capt Marshall's company, and in the regiment commanded by his brother Col. Marshall of the Massachusetts line. This period I fully served out, and was honorably but verbally discharged at Constitution Island near West Point, February 1779 with five others and received a pass with an order for our provisions on our return.
D. Morton Elder Rugg Munroe Kerry
In May 1779 I again enlisted as a private soldier in the same service, and upon the same establishment in the company commanded by Lt. Peterson Peterson and regiment commanded by Lieut. Col. Barrett of the Massachusetts line. I was afterwards detached into Capt. Roberts's company and Col. Thompson's regiment of the Massachusetts line, and was in battle at Young's house, near White Plains, where my Captain Roberts was killed. I served under this last enlistment until March 1780 when at Peekskill I was finally and honorably, but verbally discharged from the service.
From my reduced circumstances, arising from my inability to labor, upon which I have heretofore depended, and from sickness in my family, I need the assistance of my country for support. And I do hereby relinquish all my claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the U. States, if any; but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever. I request that I may be placed upon the pension list for the District of Maine.
